There is an eight note swing shape expression available in the Finale default files. You could make a duplicate of that and make modifications to the duplicate (use the "Ungroup" command in the Shape Designer to split the different elements in the shape).

RE: [Finale] Courtesy Time Signatures
Thanks to all for the public and private replies to my query.! As a relatively new (9 months) user of Finale, after seven years on ENCORE, I'm still discovering the flexibility of this program -- and thus, the accompanying complexity. Thanks again!

I just happened to have Finale 2002 running in Classic on my iMac when I saw this post so I did a quick check. Everything worked as expected. However, my music font is Maestro and also I have the music fonts duplicated to a sub-folder in my OS X 'home' folder. The path is: ~/Library/Fonts. My printer is on a local Ethernet network with 3 Macs connected to a hub. 1. When saving the graphic selection I had "Include Fonts" checked. 2. When printing the document with the included graphic, I double-checked in Page Setup->PostScript Options that "Substitute Fonts" was NOT checked. * Near the top of the .eps file are the lines: ... %%DocumentFonts: Maestro %%+ Times-Roman %%EndComments ... These show the fonts in the EPS file. If you check your EPS in a text editor, what does it show?

Go to measure tool. Click upper box at the right side of the bar. Set the wanted options for the key- and time- signatures via the menus at the right side just above the middle of the window popping up.

[Finale] Courtesy Time Signatures
I have a question about courtesy time signatures. I'm engraving a three-movement work in Finale Windows 2003. At present I've gone to [Document Options] [Time Signatures] and have courtesy time signatures turned on. I need them in the second movement, which has many meter changes. The problem is this: With "courtesy time signatures" turned on, I also get a "courtesy time signature" at the end of the first and second movements, preparing for the following movement. I don't want these to appear. How do I get rid of these two courtesy time signatures yet keep all the others? Thanks!

Since one of the first threads I read about the ~.eps utility indicated that it did not work correctly, I've never tried to use it; if it does not have a provision for embedding fonts, I'd probably define your colophon as a very small page and use a ~.pdf with embedded fonts on the one hand, or print the part of a file as a ~.tif graphic image on the other. ns ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
[Finale] eps graphic
I created an eps file of my colophon, which includes one measure of music, and inserted it into a FinMac 2Ka file as a graphic. It appears just lovely on screen, but when I printed it, the notes in the graphic came out in Courier rather than Petrucci.

[Finale] Tempo marking
I' ve been much happier once I found that tempo markings could be made as shape expressions, thus allowing different fonts to be mixed in the same expression. Now I'd like a tempo marking that includes, graphically: [16th note]=[triplet 8th note]. Is there any way to do this within one expression? -Lee ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Try this in the incorrect Fin2003 version: 1. Select the Resize Tool 2. Right-click on the first system 3. Select "Resize System..." 4. In the "Staff Sizing" group, set "Staff Height" to 96 EVPUs 5.

Re: [Finale] Strange compression
For what it's worth Dennis, I tried to copy your problem by importing a new 2001d document in 2003a (all on Mac), which I couldn't. Because not all your 2k1 documents show the same behaviour I would look for difference(s) in all possible options for the files to find out which one of the options maybe is causing trouble. You could mail me, if you wish, a copy of a 'troubled' doc, which I would be happy to try to convert, to see whether it shows the same behaviour on my mac(hine).
